Quick Bytes..

October is a big month for me and Labsie. It’s the month we celebrate our wedding anniversary (Oct 8), our couplehood anniversary (Oct 15) and the best event of all — Labsie’s birthday on Oct 31! Yep, my hubby is a Halloween baby! And would you believe he was born around 11:45pm? Very near the witching hour of midnight! =) But no worries, he’s not scary or monstrous at all. My hubby is the sweetest guy ever! As for my gifts for her, I still have to find something! For sure, I’ll have it by Christmas, LOL!

Yep, yep! You read it right! Found another great website that allows you to Watch Free Movies online! I tell you, the saying “There’s no such thing as a free lunch..” doesn’t apply to the world wide web. If you know where to look, you’ll find freebies for just about anything online. YEAH, I LOVE THE INTERNET! I truly, truly do! =) Anyway, the website that allows me to watch free full movies (and TV shows as well) is LetMeWatchThis.com — a relatively new site but chock full of goodies! Currently they have Movies, TV Shows, Music, and my favorite: Playlists!

Playlists is a user-generated list of items that belong to one category. For example, one user made a Stephen King playlist that itemized the movies and shows that were adapted from the Master of Horror’s awesome novels. And yes, I already downloaded all the items in that Playlist! What can I say? I adore Stephen King more than words! =) LetMeWatchThis.com also has a Forum where users can talk with each other. They also have a Requests category where you can (what else?) write in your movie or show request. Over-all the website is good, the videos play quite nicely, and they have an up to date database of shows. Best of all, it’s for FREE!! =)

Then try these online baby sex predictors! We tried it and it seems we’re having a girl.. I can smell my parents and hubby’s disappointment now, LOL! Our baby is currently 18 weeks+ old and in less than 2 weeks, we’re gonna have the BIG mid-pregnancy ultrasound — we’re finally gonna know our baby’s sex! And then I can start shopping for his/her stuff! Hehe!

I’m a certified bookworm — I read anything and everything I can lay my hands on. When the Internet came into vogue, I plunged head on to reading ebooks and other stuff in PDF form. PDF, of course, is the popular file type from Adobe. My only problem in sourcing PDF books was that it was so hard to search for it in the Internet. And this is where Rapid4Me.com’s PDF Search enters.. This is a specialized search engine where all the files they index are in PDF format. Books, textbooks, documents, manuals, guides are all here, and the guys behind this search engine regularly update the PDF database so you’re sure to have more and more PDF files to download. So what are you waiting for? Go try it!

I’m not kidding, it’s really Chocolate Day today! =) You can check out Discovery’s collection of chocolate articles and videos to celebrate this yummy day HERE. I tell you, the articles are really educational. For one, did you know that chocolate goes a long, long,long way back? It has been around for more than two millennia, originating in Central America; and reached the West in the 16th century following the arrival of Spanish explorers. Once the first chocolate factory was setup, the heavenly treat never looked back. It’s the most famous food in the world and I’m pretty sure Sales Jobs involving chocolate never suffered during the economic recession

Everybody wants discounts, that much I’m sure of! Whether it’s in the form of supermarket coupons, rebates, red-tag sale, or just plain perks to benefit the consumer. Yep, that’s us, consumers. And we are turning more and more to online shopping these days. I myself have been doing online buy and sell for years. And to save, I have been using online coupons, mostly Victoria’s Secret and adidas coupons.

If you want bigger incentives, go to eBates.com =) Aside from coupons, they offer CASH BACK to over 1,200 online stores! If you shop via eBates, you can avail of the following perks: Target.com (4% cash back), Walmart.com (1%), Newegg (2%), etc. The best thing about eBates? It’s FREE to join and FREE to use! So go try them now — and save on your online shopping! Black Monday is near and Christmas is just around the corner so better start shopping!

Then try to invest in precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, etc! Or you can try collecting rare coins and selling them for profit. Just last night, CNN featured a company that allows you to buy gold coins and ingots that you can sell later for profit when gold prices soar some more. Easy investment huh? Just buy.. and sell! =) I read up about this type of investment and found out about Monaco Rare Coin, a company that is part of the Monex family of companies which have been in precious metals investing for nearly 40 years.

Monaco Rare Coin has the finest rare coins available. They have an experienced and knowledgeable cadre of professionals ready and willing to help in your investment needs. Whether you need a rare gold or rare silver coin, you can be sure they have it and with the highest quality. The best part about Monaco Rare Coin? They have a FREE trial subscription to “The Rare Coin Insider” for valuable insights into the rare coin market. Yep, free! NICE!

This weeks question is: You’ve been given a personal assistant for one day. What do you want them to do for you?

It’s been a long time since I joined a meme so I thought why not do one today? Anyway, here’s my answers to the question above:
- Organize all our pictures and videos in chronological order and burn them to DVDs.
- Organize all my books, mags and stuff.
- Trim our dog’s patchy ear fur and bathe all the others.
- Do our laundry.
- Cook me a gourmet meal!!!
- Clean, organize and arrange office supplies in our PC room.
- Create a to-do list of all the things I need to do before our baby arrives on March.

What was that again?? LOL! Just trying to be creative with my title guys — my creative juices are running amok! Planning our mini-nursery has unleashed the interior designer / artist in me =) Our bedroom has 4 large windows and they occupy one whole wall! So just imagine how much sunlight (and heat) we get every morning — yep, a lot! And that wouldn’t do once our baby arrives. The solution? Window blinds to keep the sun out! And despite being “blinded” by the numerous types of blinds, I settled on the classic and popular venetian blinds. I’m currently loving this wooden cream ones in Wooden-Blinds-Direct.co.uk and the best part is, the blinds are on sale! Perfect!
